Like, if you unlocked, and if you wanted to keep stock asus rom (not sure why) you could have just fastboot flashed (or booted, actually no need to flash a recovery if its just for rooting purposes) twrp/cwm and from recovery flash a su.zip. That easy, once unlocked.

I want to root my Galaxy S2 and have ICS or Jelly Bean or the best possible. I have been reading guides and tutorials on how to do this. I don't want anything to go wrong or brick my phone. One guide said I should get a new kernal, custom rom and a new OS to maximise the performance possible. All of this is getting very confusing for me and I don't know which direction to go. There are also two popular methods of rooting a Galaxy S2 which is using super one click or flashing an insecure kernal and then rooting the s2 using odin. I don't know which method is better but I would like to keep all the data in my apps which can be done using titanium backup. I would also like to have clockwork mod just incase anything goes wrong. The guides also said the best custom rom is by cyanagenmod. Could someone push me in the right direction and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't.

What ROM are you on right now. Could you please attach a screenshot of the about section of your phone so that its easier to hand you the links to correct kernel? Briefly, what you need to do is to search the cf root thread by chainfire, get the cf root closest to your kernel version, and flash it to gain root access. What exactly would you like? Stock or custom rom? ICS or JB?

I got a stock rom right now. Exactly how it was when I first got the phone. Haven't updated. What is cf root? And can't I root using super one click? I want the jelly bean if that's the best I can get without any bugs or problems.

once u root u can backup ur apps with titanium backup and then after flashin a different rom u can restore it
So should I root using super one click?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Why do I need to update to ics? Can't I just root and then flash custom rom?
What would be the difference?

Just make sure he doesn't go to CM10 if he wants WiFi tethering. Its still buggy as it requires only open WiFi..

Hi,
My daughter has the HP touchpad, I've already loaded CM7 using moboot method so she keeps webos. I can see now that many stable versions of CM9 exist and want to upgrade to one of the many ROMs available. Can I do this straight from clockwork mod or do I need to flash additional zip files in order for it to work properly. I have searched lots of forums and some are suggesting to use acme installer 2 but I have titanium backup so cannot see the point in this method. Any help is much appreciated.

Err what's the question .
Q:can I upgrade to CM9 from CM7 through clockwork recovery?
A:don't remember where I saw it but I do remember that it could not flash properly and result in bugs....
So its best to do a clean install using ur PC and following this

Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Look for a video from reverend kyle on youtube, its a pretty good explanation and tells you the files you need. The CM9 build will be outdated in the video so just use the latest gapps and CM9 build. Everything else will be the same. Basically you'll need to use you computer and ACMEInstaller2. If you ever want to install CM10 you'll want to use ACMEInstaller3.
Many thanks for the responses, I will see how I get on.
Sent from my A500 using xda app-developers app
Might want to consider what was posted above, skip cm9, use acme uninstaller to start clean, then acmeinstaller3 and put one of the jellybean builds on.
JB takes up more system space, which acmeinstaller3 provides

Every reply is appreciated and thanks in advance,.

Do you mean TWRP? Just back it up in recovery (TWRP). However, if you are using the recovery that freegee installed, I'd download and flash a newer one from the development section. They create much more reliable backups.

Yes it's twrp which I downloaded from freegee . I tried to backup from the system but it said failed for some reason which I dont remember. As I told I'm kinda new to all this stuff .this is my first android device . So could you please send the link that you're talking about . Thank you for your reply .

Here's the link for the TWRP that has been developed for the OG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019662. I was able to flash this to my phone via the instructions within this thread. I'm a noob as well to flashing, so can't give advice beyond pointing you here.
Here's a link for Clockwork Mod for the OG, another recovery program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010984
There seems to be a bit more development being done for the Clockwork Mod...
Should never try this on a Friday.
Was following
http://www.lockermike.com/how-tos/a...-the-att-bell-telus-rogers-galaxy-note-i717!/
Because I wanted to go to JB,...but it failed at the end of flashing the CWM...now phone wont boot stays at firmware upgrade error. My phone was rooted...
Is there a newer version of the CWM that I cannot find??
You might try this dudes guide if you just want to reflash it in Odin after you get it fixed:

That didnt do it...

Thanks for all the help...Phew that did it! Should have said I had canadian phone! Now to pick a good JB version...
The whole reason for this was, I'm tired of waiting...I hate ICS. Had a Nexus before with JB (official) and really miss it!
Awesome! Glad it worked. Happy flashing

Hi guys,
is it possible to do a backup from a slot rom and then restore it to the stock rom without problems?
I want to have a clear stock rom and at slot-rom I now want to edit the build.prop, then search and install the Update, after that do a backup
and restore it to the stock rom.(If I need to)
I have installed SU and Safestrap Recovery v3.71 at my firehdx 8.9.

Thanks for that, over safestrap I installed the apollo-amazon-os, after reboot I wonder because my appz where still there, so I decided to wipe the stock ROM.....now it´s working fine.
I also tried to install to a rom-slot, do a backup and restore to stock-rom...also working!
Great, glad it worked.
